Digest-sized Monster Goodness / Lazy Friday Fantasy Metal Post: Warlock - "Burning the Witches"
The Warlock has cooked up some digest-sized, OSR monster goodness... snag it here: link
Oh, and I can't let an easy Warlock reference pass without some video goodness, especially when it is just in time for a Lazy Friday Fantasy Metal Post.

Lazy Friday Fantasy Metal Post: The Sword - "Night City"
I've been jamming to The Sword a lot. Their albums make an excellent soundtrack to the Wilderlands.
There is a place where the losers win
A port of call for desperate man
It is known by many names
We come and go but it remains
Nobody cares, nobody cries
If you're scared or if you die
That's the way it goes
You should know...
You're in the place they call the Night-side
In the shadows where the killers and the
pirates hide
Stick around if you think you
can survive
in the city on the Night-side
Running scared through endless night
Too afraid to put up a fight
They shackle her wrists
It's too late to resist
Scanned for weapons and transmitters
Sold at auction to the highest bidder
That's the way it goes
Now you know...
You can find us on the Night-Side
In the shadows where the killers and the
pirates hide
Come around if you think you
can survive
in the place they call the Night-side.

Lazy Friday Fantasy Metal Post: Cauldron Born - By this Axe I Rule
Just learned of this band, Cauldron Born, from the Black Gate magazine blog. ... and, yes, by this axe, I do rule:

Lazy Friday Fantasy Metal Post (Halloween Edition): Fastway - Trick or Treat
Ok, so the "fantasy" element here is suspect, but I do still feel a D&D connection. This song is from an old 80s horror flick called "Trick or Treat" about a kid resurrecting his metal hero, Sammi Curr, by playing a record backwards (check out the trailer here). Of course, Sammi comes back all evil-like and starts the killin’. This film came out at the height of the "Metal is Evil" era which overlaps with the "D&D is Evil" era, so there you have my tenuous connection. These two manias are always connected in my mind and Classic D&D will always have a metal vibe to me. The movie features cameos by Gene Simmons and Ozzy. This was back when Ozzy really was seen as a Prince of Darkness and not some stuttering clown and, in a brilliant move, he was cast as an evangelist preaching against the evils of metal music (see his scenes here).
Now, full disclosure, I have never seen this movie. I was chicken shit little kid when it came out (too young to see it in the theatres, not that my wimpy butt would have gone anyhow). However, my brother did have the soundtrack (completely by Fastway) on cassette and I listened to it all the time. The movie is not on Netflix yet, so I still haven't seen it. It definitely looks like a "so bad, it's good" kind of movie.
Anyhow, without further ado, here is the rocking title track.

Lazy Friday Fantasy Metal Post: Attacker - Battle of Helm's Deep
This is a pretty sweet fan-made video including a bunch of clips from Ralph Baski's Lord Of The Rings movie. I particularly like 3:24 or so where it looks like Frodo is getting down to the metal music.

Blatantly-Not-Fantasy-Related-Metal-Oh-Hell-Yeah-It’s-Game-Night Post
We have not played D&D since April 23, 2010. It’s f@#kin’ Friday. It’s f@#kin’ Rappan Athuk. It’s the f@#kin’ last battle in the Upper Temple of Orcus.

Lazy Friday Fantasy Metal Post: The Sword - Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians
There has been a lot of post-apocalyptic game talk recently, so this tracked seems very appropriate. It also makes me think of Beyond the Black Gate's raven lance.
Oh, and if you want some "real" post-apocalyptic action, check out this three-day Mad Max reenactment (is it a reenactment if you're enacting something that hasn't happened yet?).

Lazy Friday Fantasy Metal Post: Gamma Ray - Heart of the Unicorn
You wouldn't think you could make a kick arse song about a unicorn. You'd be wrong.
